The Pure Energy Playback system is designed and put together by our in-house technicians.
We are able to provide up to 24 simultaneous video playback channels at 24 frames per second. These can be sourced from SDI, HDMI, VGA, DVI, S-Video, Composite Video or even a mixture of different sources. All channels are genlocked together ensuring the scan timing for all screens are identical. We can also provide a Black Burst (sometimes called black and burst) signal to your camera if required.
Sources can be our playback system, laptops, or even live feeds.
24 frame playback for CRT screens is vital when shooting films at 24 fps.
When filming a CRT screen that is running at the standard 25 frames (PAL) will result in scrollbars, rolling and tearing.
Not all CRT screens will work correctly when operted at 24 frames. It is always advised that a camera test is done in advance to ensure that all equipment will work as planned for the day of the shoot.
We can also provide standard 25 frame playback.
